The three of them were studying the route out on the deck. Paine compared his map with the map Tang Lie got from the ebony box. The two routes were completely different. He scratched the back of his bare head and said, "I originally thought I would have to take another route from the ebony box." Returning the way we came,”
Fina chuckled and said: "How is it possible? The entrance to the Golden Cave has already been filled up."
Paine sighed and said: "I'm worried that after we walk out from here, we will never be able to come back..."
Tang Lie said with a smile: "Sometimes, you have to learn to give up. Although gold is precious, it is nothing compared to life."
Fina's eyes were full of tenderness when she looked at Tang Lie. She could take it up and let it go. This was the man she fell in love with.
Paine reluctantly walked towards the cockpit. When he came to the cockpit, he suddenly found a keyhole in the direction of the rudder. He rushed out of the door in surprise and met Tang Lie who was walking into the cockpit. and Fina.
Paine was excited about his discovery and said loudly: "I have long said that this golden warship can be sailed away. There is a hole here that can just fit the golden key we found."
Tang Lie nodded calmly, raised the structural diagram of the golden warship in his hand and said: "It is very clear on the drawing. As long as this key is turned, the hull and the structure below will be separated, and the golden warship can resume its free movement. ,"
Paine nodded hastily.
Tang Lie said coldly: "But if you think about it calmly, can the three of us control such a large golden warship?"
Pan En's enthusiasm was mostly extinguished by Tang Lie's words. After a long time, he said: "Could it be that... we just give up like this?"
Tang Lie shook his head and said: "You can't make a fat man with just one bite. Until we don't have enough appetite, we'd better not pay attention to this big ship." He patted Pan on the shoulder and said: "Let's go, use the wealth you got. , develop your strength quickly, and come here when you truly have strong strength,"
The three people lowered a lifeboat from the golden warship and placed the treasures they took away on the cabin. Tang Lie and Paine each held two golden oars and followed the route pointed on the map to the northeast of the underground sea. Fang crossed it hard.
After gliding on the water for about an hour, the waterway ahead began to become narrow. After the gold lifeboat persisted for a while, it was finally unable to carry the weight of the three of them and ran aground in shallow water. They jumped off the lifeboat and walked along the water. Walk forward along a narrow waterway.
Paine's greed soon got his retribution. A whole sack of wealth made his back bend. When he saw Tang Lie and Fina walking happily in front of him, he suddenly felt a sense of regret in his heart. He quietly picked out the things he thought were not precious from the sack and threw them into the water. Unknowingly, the sack full of treasure was already half empty.
The waterway flowed into a narrow tunnel ahead. According to the map, the three of them walked to the right. They came to the end of the road not far away. There was a huge head carved on the stone wall. Tang Lie searched carefully and traced the lips of the head. A keyhole was found between them.
Fina handed the key she brought from the golden warship to Tang Lie. Tang Lie carefully put the golden key into the keyhole and twisted it gently. After three turns, a loud creaking sound was made, and the portrait turned to the right. Moving slowly, the cold wind blew in from outside, and Tang Lie's spirit was immediately lifted. Based on his intuition, he judged that the outside world was not far away.
Paine suddenly exclaimed: "Come on, it's back again." Sure enough, the head began to slowly move back to its original position.
The three of them hurriedly rushed out before the avatar closed the secret door. Paine was the last to rush out. As soon as he rushed out, the avatar closed the door behind him. Unfortunately, the sack on his shoulders was completely squeezed, and no matter how hard Paine pulled it, it could not stop him. Unable to pull it out, he had to throw it away in frustration. Fortunately, he hid a few treasures in his clothes, so it was not completely lost.
Tang Lie laughed and said: "Greedy is not enough for a snake to swallow an elephant."
Pan En looked at the closed stone door behind him with lingering fear. If he hadn't thrown away some of his treasures in advance, he would have almost been killed by these burdens on him.
The passage ahead was getting narrower and narrower, and in the end he was crawling. He gradually heard the sound of water flowing in his ears. Tang Lie took the lead in crawling to the exit, but saw the waterfall in front of him pouring down like a silver dragon. He immediately understood that they had arrived. Behind the waterfall, if you jump from here, you will reach the pool where you originally fell.
On the right side of the cave entrance, there was a narrow rock gap. Although it was a bit slippery, it was still possible to stay. The three of them climbed up little by little along the gap in the rock. When they approached the top of the cliff, the water of the waterfall was almost close to the cliff. Washing down the cliff, everyone had to contend with the powerful impact of the water. The three showed an unprecedented spirit of mutual help, supporting each other and successfully climbed to the top of the cliff.
As soon as Paine's head emerged from the top of the cliff, there were more than a dozen bright long knives placed on his shoulders, and an insidious voice said with a strange smile: "One-eyed dragon, your ability to eat alone is getting better and better. Do you think I'm looking for you?" Not with you,"
Abal, the captain of the Skyhawk, stood coldly on a high cliff, his gray-green eyes full of murderous intent and anger. More than twenty pirates stood around his body, some of which were covered in blood.
Paine laughed heartily. He wanted to draw all the attention to himself so that Tang Lie and Fina below could make full preparations.
Abal waved his alloy arm and roared: "You bastard, you actually led us into the crocodile pool, causing me to lose so many men. Today I will crush you to ashes to relieve the hatred in my heart. "
Paine was greatly relieved. It seemed that Abar must have sent people into the pool below to search for traces of himself. He was frantically besieged by alligators and suffered heavy casualties.
Abal's cold alloy palm touched Paine's face, and he narrowed his gray-green eyes: "I want to tear off your skin and flesh bit by bit..."
Two water columns suddenly erupted from both sides of the waterfall, and the figures of Tang Lie and Fina launched attacks on Abal from mid-air.
Abal never thought that there were other people hiding in the waterfall. He retreated backwards in panic, knocking the two pirates behind him and sending them flying.
The dagger in Tang Hunter's hand was activated by the energy in his body, and the cold light spread out about three feet long.
Abar stretched out his alloy arm, and the five mechanically controlled fingers pinched the edge of the dagger like iron pliers. His alloy arm was tailor-made for him by a famous craftsman. It had broken countless sharp knives, so he dared to grab it boldly. Throw the dagger at the opponent.
The alloy palm passed through the edge of the dagger, and as soon as it made contact, Abal's expression changed. At this moment, he realized that he was too big, and now it was too late to withdraw his arm. Tang Lie slashed in an arc and cut Abal's entire alloy right palm was cut off at the wrist level.
Abal screamed and staggered back a few steps. His facial expression was ashen. The reason why he screamed was not because of pain, but out of inner regret. This alloy arm has been with him for many years and has long been in his heart. Think of it as part of your body.
At the same time, Fina had already repelled several pirates who were holding Paine hostage. The situation reversed in an instant. Paine proudly pulled out his machete and shouted: "Abal, if you have the guts, fight me one on one." ,"
To be fair, Tang Lie didn't want to get involved in this pirate dispute, but the situation forced him to stand on the same side as Paine.
Abal's eyes full of resentment stayed on Tang Lie's face for a long time. He gritted his teeth and said: "You have no chance to escape..." Before he could finish his words, he heard the men behind him shouting in terror: "Captain, Sky Eagle" It's sinking..."
Abar turned around and looked, only to see that far away on the sea, the majestic hull of the Skyhawk was indeed sinking into the water little by little. His angry eyes were instantly replaced by panic. The Skyhawk was the foundation of his livelihood at sea. , without the Skyhawk, his captain was useless. Abal could no longer take care of Tang Lie and others, and hurriedly led his men towards the beach.
Paine looked at Abal's back and spat contemptuously: "Fortunately he ran fast, otherwise I would have given him a good look,"
Tang Lie smiled calmly, held Fina's delicate hand, and said to Pan En: "There is no such thing as a banquet in the world, so we have to say goodbye."
When Pan En heard that the two were leaving, he immediately panicked. If he stayed behind, how could he be sure to deal with Abar's gang? He followed Tang Lie and the others every step of the way.
Tang Lie turned around and said with a smile: "Why, you are reluctant to leave us,"
Paine pursed his dry lips and said: "Before the golden warship was unearthed, I thought... we should have many common purposes..."
Tang Lie laughed loudly, nodded slowly, and walked towards the beach.
They found the Snowy Holy Mastiff waiting for them in the wooden house halfway up the mountain. Looking in the direction of the Skyhawk, only part of the stern of the entire ship was still exposed above the sea.
Paine whispered: "I have a lifeboat hidden in the rocks in the northeast corner,"
Tang Lie nodded and took the lead in striding towards the beach.
Abal's expression was full of frustration. He watched Tang Lie and his group pass by without any reaction. It wasn't until Pan walked a distance away from him that he whispered: "It was Zhang Chusen who caused the trouble." …”
Paine's footsteps suddenly stopped, turned around, and looked at Abar with confusion.
Abal showed an extremely indignant expression on his face: "They revealed all your information to me, saying that you got the map of the Golden Cave,"
"Bullshit," Paine cursed viciously.
Abal whispered: "I finally understand that the so-called Golden Cave is just a bait. It is a bait used by the Sea Dragon to lure us into a fight so that he can reap the benefits of the fishermen."
Pan En thought proudly in his heart that the Golden Cave is not an illusion, let alone a bait. I have found it, but he still pretended to be indignant on the surface: "That bastard Zhang Touchen is really cunning. Now my Dragon God and Your Aquila is all destroyed, and his family is the only one in this sea area,"
"Sea Dragon," several pirates watching on the beach exclaimed loudly at the same time.
Tang Lie looked around and saw a huge black ship rising slowly from the waters where the Sky Eagle sank in the sea directly ahead. He exclaimed in his heart: "Holy shit, the Hailong is actually a genuine ship. submarine,"
The expressions of Pan En and Abar suddenly became heavy. They both knew what the appearance of the Sea Dragon here meant. Pan gritted his teeth and said: "That bastard Zhang Chusen must take this opportunity to catch us all..."
Abal nodded heavily and looked around. Fifty or sixty exhausted men were lying there staggering on the beach. With their current combat effectiveness, they simply could not compete with the Sea Dragon.
The common enemy made the two enemies who just wanted to eat each other alive sit together. They had already seen that the Sea Dragon did not pass by by chance. There were already thirty speedboats loaded with fully armed pirates from the Sea Dragon. Heading quickly towards the beach of Golden Island.
Tang Lie did not expect that there would be an internal struggle among the pirates for control. He quietly called Pan aside and whispered: "What happened in the Golden Cave must not be leaked."
Paine was not stupid. He was not guilty of the crime. If he exposed the exotic treasure now, he would probably attract the same hatred of the thieves. He nodded silently and introduced to Tang Lie: "Zhang Chusen's Hailong is The most powerful force in the Xuhai Sea, he has always wanted to completely control the entire Xuhai Sea. It seems that this fight between Abal and I was planned by him."
Abal came to them and whispered: "There are about three hundred people here this time. It seems they want to catch us all,"
Fina looked at the group of thieves on the beach. There were more than fifty people against three hundred people. The balance of strength was indeed very different. When she was thinking about how to fight, she suddenly heard Tang Lie said: "Lead them into the woods. will help us deal with them,"
Abal and Paine's eyes lit up at the same time. They were attacked by a group of orangutans one after another in the jungle. However, remembering the cruelty of the apes' attacks, they couldn't help but beat their drums in their hearts. Who should be entrusted with the task of luring the enemy in depth?
Tang Lie said: "Fina is responsible for leading these guys from the sparse vegetation in the east to the wooden house to ambush. The task of luring the enemy deep is left to me, Pan and Abar. After all, Zhang Chusen's main target is you two. Only you can successfully attract most of the Sea Dragon's power into the jungle ahead,"
Paine and Abar looked at each other and nodded in unison, showing extraordinary courage at the critical moment of life and death.
Fina led more than fifty pirates to retreat first to the wooden house. She held Tang Lie's arm and said with concern: "You must be careful,"
Tang Lie patted her pretty face lovingly and said, "Don't worry, these dirty guys can't hurt me."
Fina nodded and said: "When you lead those guys into the jungle, I will lead these pirates to rush to the beach in the shortest possible time, destroy their ships, and cut off these guys' escape route."
